With training camp a mere weeks away, The Sportmeisters are releasing their pre-pre-season Top 25. Look for this to change as training camp and two-a-days get under way.

1. Ryan: Florida – They return all the starters on offense and defense, with the exception of Percy Harvin. Add that up with a favorable schedule, and the Gators could spend the entire season at number one.

Justin: Florida – They’re bringing everyone back, including the “Hero” Tim Tebow.

2. Ryan: Oklahoma – With quarterback Sam Bradford, running backs DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown, the Sooners boast one of the most formidable backfields. Replacing four offensive lineman and a tough Big 12 will be a challenge for them to conquer.

Justin: Texas - Besides quarterback Colt McCoy and wide receiver Jordan Shipley the Longhorns secondary should be much improved this season with a little experience underneath their belts.

3. Ryan: Texas – They lack a formidable running attack, going without a 1,000 yard rusher for the first time in ten years, and have to replace defensive end/linebacker Brian Orakpo, but with McCoy slinging the ball to Shipley and Malcom Willams, Longhorn fans will see a lot of pass-happy performances.

Justin: Oklahoma - With Bradford, Murray, and Jermaine Gresham back the Sooners will once again put up Arena Football-like numbers

4. Ryan: Ole Miss – Call me crazy, but they are for real, and the Rebels showed it when they thumped Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl. Even without studs Michael Oher and Peria Jerry anchoring the offensive and defensive lines, respectfully, they have a formidable schedule and a top quarterback in Jevon Snead.

Justin: USC - The deepest program in the country year in and year out. Even with the linebacker corps depleted I expect the Trojans to not have a rebuilding year, but a reloading season.

5. Ryan: USC – The Trojans are on the bottom end of the top five because of the players they have lost to the NFL, but they don’t lack talent ready to replace them. Aaron Corp and Matt Barkley will fight head to head for the starting quarterback job, and coach Pete Carroll thinks next year’s Linebackers are better than the current crop that departed for the NFL.

Justin: Ohio State – Quarterback Terrelle Pryor will prove to be the most exciting quarterback in the country this season. If the defense can reload the Buckeyes will have a chance this season.

6. Ryan: Alabama – Nick Saban is finally using his own players, in his third year in Alabama, and after an undefeated regular season blew up in the SEC Championship Game, he is looking for vengeance. Nine returning defensive starters will help give the young squad some more experience. Quarterback Greg McElroy has an easy transition with RB Mark Ingram and wide receiver Julio Jones in his huddle.
